End of Phase 2

So I finished Phase 2 right before we left for Utah. I feel like I did pretty good this phase. I modified the HGC diet (used the diet as a guide-line, but added more protein for my harder workout) and I think I lost a few inches. I felt really good about what I have done.

Problem is I went to Utah on vacation and so did my diet. I didn't do ONE workout while I was there. I had a bunch of family activities so of course I didn't eat all that great. In my defense I was sick for the last week of being there, and on the "plus side" I didn't over eat too much that week.

I've been giving my self a re-coup week. But next week it's head first! I am going to push hard again. I still really want to get rid of those last few lbs and inches!!!

Just keep swimming...just..keep swimming...

Not much new around here. I had a busy week so I was somewhat of a slacker. I did go running on Monday, and today I jumped back into P90X. It felt good. I only missed 2 or 3 days but I was worried about breaking the habit.

I've got 2 weeks until that first wedding so I better keep going! My goal is to loose another 1/2 total inch. I have gone down in inches quite a bit. I have been watching REALLY close what I eat. I guess it's paying off. Not much weight loss...but I didn't expect much, just inches, which I'll take!

Small Victory

I was able to do 45 out of the 56 mins of Plyometrics! It's a lot of jumping, moving, heart racing, cardio stuff. For me (besides pushups and pull ups) this one is the hardest. I am not a jumper/high impact person, so I felt pretty good about making that far! My goal by the end of phase 2 is to be able to finish the video!

Phase 2

I start Phase 2 today. Oh-man, I hope I can keep it up!

Brave?

I REALLY debated on putting up these photos. But I needed a way to see before and after and progress along the way. So completely out of my comfort zone....

Here is before:

After Phase 1.
Not a huge difference. I have lost about 1 1/2 total inches, and no weight... so far... apparently it takes time :-) So on to Phase 2 next week. Supposedly phase 2 is when you start to define things a little more. I sure hope so!

Inches

The inches are coming off? I measured today. I am happy to announce that I lost 1 total inch from a combination of arms, waist, chest, and hips! But measured and re-measured my thigh and it's UP 1 inch...what?! I am really enjoying this work out! I have fun...ok fun might not be the best word...but I do enjoy it. I like feeling like I've worked out for the day! I feel like I am more fit, and slim.

The thigh thing though...I don't want big, beefy, manly thighs....I will have to think about this one.

1 week.

I have made it through 1 week today, Hurray! I made it 10 mins longer today than I did the first day. So I hope that means I've made some progress.
